Let’s talk toilets. For the 3.5 billion people around the world living without access to safe sanitation, toilets are the key to a healthier life. Every year, I’m amazed by the innovative minds working to solve the global sanitation challenge. #WorldWaterWeek
Becoming a grandparent has given me a whole new lens to see the world through. It keeps me motivated to ensure my granddaughter—and all our grandchildren—inherit a better world than they were born into. #grandparentsday
Happy birthday, @phoebegates! You’ll always be my little girl, but watching you do big things has never surprised me. I’m so proud of you.
On the tiny pitch, @davidbeckham and I are very competitive. Off it, we share a common goal in finding ways to drive towards #ZeroMalaria. His dedication to ending malaria and supporting global health is remarkable. Thank you, David! #WorldMosquitoDay
Paddling into the long weekend.
Happy 93rd birthday to the one and only Warren Buffett.
There are over 7,000 languages spoken globally, they evolve with every generation, and they have the power to unite and divide us—making this an infinitely interesting topic to discuss with linguist John McWhorter.

It’s easy to think of language as a basket of words—but there’s much more to it than that. My conversation with linguist John McWhorter is all about the complexities of language.
It’s no exaggeration to say that researchers have learned more about the health of mothers and babies over the past 10 years than they did in the century before that. But the solutions they’ve developed from those breakthroughs aren’t reaching the people who need them most—and that needs to change. #Goalkeepers2030
Meatless cheesesteaks, music, and family nicknames were on the table for our conversation on Unconfuse Me. Episode 3 is out now. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.
@questlove told me he saw the future when he first tried a meatless burger. I enjoyed our conversation about why plant-based doesn’t have to be a synonym for boring or bland—and how he proved it by striking a deal with the Phillies that introduced his vegetarian cheesesteak to fans and put it to the ultimate test. Spoiler: it was a hit. You can listen to the latest episode of Unconfuse Me wherever you get your podcasts.

The fight against malaria and the fight against climate change are more connected than most people think.
I found a fellow Wordle nerd in @questlove—and he has one of the most unique solving strategies I’ve encountered. Next time I play, I’m letting @spotify pick the first word.
I love sharing stories from around the world about the incredible work being done to fight malaria. Dr. Charles Wondji’s journey—from a childhood in Cameroon to prestigious research fellowships in the UK to his decision to move back home and mentor the next generation of African scientists—is a great one.
Thad Jones and Mel Lewis: Two greats who made some timeless records, best listened to on vinyl. Thanks for sharing this one with me, @questlove.
Every two minutes, a mother dies from complications due to childbirth, while two million babies are stillborn each year, and five million children die before they reach their fifth birthday. The oldest public health problem—the survival of mothers and babies—remains the most urgent. But it is also increasingly solvable.
Researchers have learned more about the health of mothers and babies over the past decade than they did in the century before—everything from the exact diseases that are killing children, to the role anemia can play in increasing blood loss during childbirth, to previously unknown links between a baby’s health and their mother’s.
If our delivery of care can keep pace with our learning—and low-cost innovations can reach the communities where moms and kids need it most—we can save millions of lives. #Goalkeepers2030
